Mr. Shultz:
Thank you Mr. Richardson. Dr. White would you care to make a statement
at this time?
Dr. White:
First of all these proposed regulations have been available from the
Health Department since
or persons have come to
who are interested that
publishing of this notice. As far as I know no person
look them over. I might state for the interest of those
we will give due publicity to this regulation when it is
passed. Basically the reason for the regulation and the reason for the law in
the first place giving the local board of health the power to pass this regulation.
This was passed by the Legislature to enable us to do something about non -municipal
sewage disposal. We have found over the years
the type of septic tanks, or cesspools or what
a hap-hazzard fashion and function and that is
that we have very little control over
have you and these things are put in
the end of them.
This is a permit system that requires that those who are going to change
their sewage disposal in any manner to get a permit for rebuilding and then the
system has to be put in according to the recommendations of the public health service
on septic tank practice which is manual that is followed generally throughout the
country. This requires a fee of twenty-five dollars per permit. This may sound a
little steep but if, someone had charged a fee on the one that I have at my place that
was put in improperly it would have saved me $500.00. It takes that much time to check
on these because the ordinance requires or the regulation requires that these be put in
thus testing the soil to see what the drainage is, the location. We figure it takes
about three trips per sanitarian. If we did it on a milage basis, it would be unfair
to
in
we
some of them living way out
an argument about mileage.
feel that in the future all
in the country and we feel that we would be forever
So we felt a flat fee was fair to all. With this type
septic tanks outside of municipalities will be put in
properly and this also does away with any type thing other than a septic tank, or
disposal field. These old sumps and things like that they used to put in are out
and are illegal.
Mr. Shultz:
Thank you Dr. White. Does anyone else have anything to say?
Dick Diehl:
Yes sir, I :)urchased Moffit Ready Mix about a year and a half ago
and probably make more septic tanks in this County than anyone. I am really interested
in this. We go by the Green Book in most all cases. Now my question to Dr. White
is this to be patterned similar to Larimer County Code?
Dr. White:
Well I am not familiar with theirrentirely, as far as I know it is
not like any other code except the codes that refer to this.
Mr. Diehl:
They follow that very closely and the Health Commissioner over there
has a very successful program and it is working very well and we supply 50 to
80 tanks a year in his area. Of course he has had some problems but they watch very
close and watch all installations. This gets away as you were talking about the
cesspool type - the improper leach field and so forth. If it was to be patterned
after the Larimer County Code I would highly recommend it because their has worked
very well.
Dr. White:
to
Well ours is patterned generallyAthe recommendations of the State
Health Department which is several systems put together and simplified. As I say
I am not familiar with Larimer County. Up to now each County has had one, this will
work on the same basis as Larimer County and also as Boulder County.
Glen Paul:
Mr. Chairman, I am Glen Paul, Chief Sanitarian, the only difference
I can see between our system and Larimer County's now if they bring in a subdivision
and the subdividers will run perculation tests - say about 5 or 6 or 8 or 10. Our
ordinance says you have to run perculation test on each spot. So therefore we think
our recommendation is better than Larimer County and I might state one reason why
we have not passed regulations - actually until this law came in last year we didn't
have the authority to do it. So Larimer County, Boulder County and the Tri County
been
Areas have put them in and they have/sued and have been beaten but still some people
say well its a regulation lets go ahead. That is one reason we have not had regulations
we know we needed them but why pass something when you know you can not enforce it.
We feel right now that we are - I had two people in our office yesterday and today -
4
already subdivision going up west on Highway 34, and in talking with Mr. Richardson
before the meeting this stream polution bill going in right now - we think it is
one of the greatest thing Weld County has had.
Dr. White
Mr. Chairman, we feel that this is a good regulation it is simple
and it is designed to operate under the state law and as Mr. Paul mentioned actually
they never had any authority in the county to put in such a regulation in a Board of
Health, up until now. Actually I don't know how Larimer does it now —they don't even
have a Board of Health.
Mr. Paul:
They do it through the County Commissioners, they are doing a good
job.
Dr. White:
But the reason we haven't done this before just like Mr. Paul said
we haven't really had the authority, we have on a number of ocassions cooked this
thing up and the Attorney General says you can't do it - so why ague with the
Attorney General. We just waited until this thing came along and we have had no
objections from any source.
Mr. Shultz:
Thank you Dr. White, Does anyone else have any comments they would
like to make.
Mr. Diehl
I have two comments I would like to make this will eliminate
the two small septic tanks. Right now people come in and they tell you what they
are going to put in and we always suggest that they should check with the County
Health Department and especially in Larimer County. Usually they will try to get
by with a size smaller than they should have.
Dr. White:
All the people who ave interested or who have an interest will receive
we will
copies and/furnish the plumbers with copies. We will get plenty of publicity on this
through our health education director.
.,5
Dr. White:
As soon as the Board passes this which will be the 13th of December
at the next regular Board meeting.
Mr. Paul:
You ask about price Mr. Dunbar - I was talking to the Chief
Sanitarian for the Tri County Area - this is about 10 years to late for those
people. We were talking about the price we were thinking about $25.00 and he
stated they were thinking of $25.00 or more, because we have been going 10 years
now and we know what it costs to send a sanitarian out and run the perculation tests.
I was talking to a man this morning who is getting an engineer to run the perculation
tests and they are going to charge him $150.00, this is about three tests.
Dr. White:
The State Health Department suggest $10.00 plus mileage, well you
can get in more trouble over mileage - what are you going to charge per mile is
another question you would have to solve and then some of these things you would
probably run up a bill of $150.00 on some of these people. So we felt like a flat
fee of $25.00 would cover it.
Mr. Shultz:
Do you have anything you would care to say on this matter?
Mr. Richardson:
There are only two - one from my meager city experience I would say
this is one of the very good things to have I have seen many people come to the city
and complain about their septic tank not working properly and having had it inspected
and having tabed the particular plumber that was responsible helped to no end which
of course Glen will be doing with his inspectors and it saved the people many many
dollars.
Secondly as far as the price is concerned I am always one that is in
favor of pay as you go and this is a good way of doing it. Set your fee up high enough
where it will almost over-all pay for the services rendered by the sanitarian and it
saves the taxpayer the money - it may sound high at the moment but I don't think so
I think it simply a means of paying for the service they are getting.
' 6'
Mr. Shultz:
Thank you Tom, I think that little remark you made would apply to
Dr. White in his own personal case he had. He had a sad experience that cost money.
Dr. White:
This is has been a problem you see our trouble has been the only
people who we knew were putting in septic tanks or those who have a FHA loan or
VA loan something like that - then they ask us to check on it; otherwise we never
knew they were in until they were in. Even on the FHA loans lots of times they would
come in and want us to approve it its already in and covered up. This way with the
permit we know it is going in and if We find one that is going in without a permit
they can dig the thing up.
Audience:
Dr. White just brought up a point here what other towns might be
attached if they do no put these tanks in properly.
Dr. White:
Well that comes under the general violation and regulations. There
is no penalty clause that can be put in this - it has to come under a violation of
a regulation of the County Board of Health. It comes under a general penality and I
do not recall what that is.
Audience:
The only reason that I ask that is what I am to tell these plumbers
when they order a tank this is the time to catch it. Right then when they order the
tank, if they have their permit.
Dr. White:
Well on their permit they have to submit a plot or plan with the
capacity or their tank, the size of their building and the layout in general, this
is to be given to us before we give them their permit. This comes in with the
application for the permit.

Mr. D
As far as size etc, I have to have the proper information to
tell people when they call up and ask for information. A lot of people just
call up and have no idea whether they are going to have a plumber do it or some
fellow with a back hoe and a digger or put it in himself.
Mr. Paul:
We will have what we call an information sheet with instructions
for a permit and that will give all our information and specifications.
Mr. Shultz:
Does anyone have any objections to the regulations. Now is the
time to speak up. Since there is no opposition Mr. Commissioners I am in a
position now where I am going to ask for a motion whether to adopt the
regualtion making it possible for the Health Department to enforce it.
Mr. Dunbar:
I so move to adopt the Septic Tank Law as submitted in the
legal hearing held today.
Dr. White:
May I make a suggestion on that - I think you should make a motion
that you are in favor of the Weld County Board of Health adopting the regulation
Number One governing non -municipal sewage disposal systems.
Mr. Shultz:
We will stand corrected, Marsh
Mr. Anderson:
I will second it.
Mr. Shultz:
Its been regularly moved and seconded and I personally will make it
unanimous - so carried and so ordered. Mr. Richardson you as County Attorney are
asked to write the resolution. The meeting is closed.

Dear Doctor White:
Enclosed is a reproduced copy of Chapter 66, Article 2, Colorado Revised
Statutes 1963, as amended by House Bill 1205, Forty-fifth Colorado
General Assembly, commonly called the "Septic Tank Law." Article 3,
Chapter 66 is also enclosed for insertion in your "Extracts of Health
Laws" book.
The law authorized organized health departments to adopt rules and
regulations and minimum standards with relation to all phases of septic
tank installation and operation.
A public hearing must be held by the local department for adoption of
the rules and regulations and NOTICE thereof published in a newspaper
of general circulation in the county or district affectd at least ten
(10) days prior to the hearing. Enclosed is a blank form of notice
deemed appropriate to comply with the law which it is hoped will
assist you in preparing a proper legal notice. It is suggested you
clip a copy of the published notice and attach it to your minutes of
the hearing.
Also enclosed are model provisions for the proposed regulations which
may assist you in drafting your regulations. (We have plagiarized
Mesa County's proposal with Dr. Reinstein's consent.) You may make
reference to the penalty clause for violation of the statute but do
not make violation of your regulation an offense, since that is not
legal in Colorado.
Your board is authorized to fix a fee for the permit and to cover the
cost of the inspections. It is suggested that a flat fee of about
$10 be charged in all cases, plus mileage to the construction site.
We have ordered a number of copies of U. S. Public Health Service
"Manual of Septic Tank Practice," No. 526 and can make a copy available
to you upon request or additional copies can be purchased from the
U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. for 400 each.

We do not deem it necessary to set forth the entire provisions in
your notice of hearing but the information should be available to
anyone who requests a copy.
Enclosed is a copy of "A Guide for Conducting Hearings," which you
will find useful in that connection. The law relative to septic
tank rules and regulations requires only ten (10) days notice, whereas
the procedure called for by Section 3-16-2, Colorado Revised Statutes
1963 requires twenty (20) days notice for other hearings.
